The realme was super impressive when I got it. But, In comparison the realme isn’t as clear. Glad I got the pixel.

    I think any and all comparisons of modern smartphones are worthless beyond personal preference. All of these phones do massive amounts of filtering and post processing which makes any direct technical comparison a waste of time. With equal exposure you could get either of these results with either phone by taking the raw image and doing the right editing.

        A mate had an iPhone while I was doing this, they asked me to try the same thing with theirs. Gotta say with both my phones I just set them in a steady spot and selected night shot. Didn’t have that option on the iPhone that I could see, but that might be me not knowing how to use it.

          My bad, they automatically set the exposure. At the same position it did about 4 seconds exposure and looked a bit darker than the pixel. Will post if they figure out how to send the photo to me.

        Raw image taking has been around for a long time now, even on smartphones. I’m not sure how processed regular raw shots are on iPhones, but ProRAW pictures are a combination of raw and regular processed pictures according to Apple

      Comparisons are helpful to find which matches my preferences, and it’s helpful to know which phone will process the images in a way that I can get images I like without doing the processing myself.

    The Realme photo looks fake. You just don’t get that much light at night from a 30 second shot without a lot of post processing. You’d probably get blurry stars too, depending on your location.

    It’s great if you want to take photos of your friends at night, but if you’re trying to get genuine photos of the stars, I wouldn’t trust it.

      Yeah, I agree. Way to much light. Also, good luck getting your mates to sit for 30 seconds.

      And, yes, the realme photo was way more blurry. I literally took both these photos around 5 mins of each other about an hour after sundown

      Edit: Might have been closer to 2 hours after sundown.
